Title: Manufacture of 2-halogen-5-acidyl-aminobenzoylbenzoic Acids.
Filed: 1912-06-05
Granted: 1912-08-15
Abstract: 13,241. Akt.-Ges. f³r Anilin Fabrikation. Nov. 1, 1911, [Convention date]. 2-Halogen-5-acidylaminobenzoylbenzoic acids of the constitution (where X = halogen, and R = acidyl group) and derivatives thereof substituted in position 4, are produced by the action of halogen, or a substance liberating halogen, upon the corresponding 5-acidylaminobenzoylbenzoic acids. Acetic acid or its anhydride is preferably used as acidylating-agent as then acidylating and halogenizing can be performed in one solution. In an example 2-brom-5-acetylaminobenzoylbenzoic acid is prepared by adding acetic anhydride to a solution of 5-aminobenzoylbenzoic acid in acetic acid and then adding bromine. In an analogous manner are prepared 2 - brom-5-acetylamino-4-methylbenzoylbenzoic acid and 2-brom-5-acetylamino-4-carboxybenzoylbenzoic acid. 1:4-Halogenaminoanthraquinones are prepared by condensation of the foregoing benzoylbenzoic acid derivatives.

Granted: 1913-07-17
Abstract: 28,104. Weiss, E. Dec. 8. 1911, [Convention. date]. Lighting burners by frictional devices.-In a pyrophoric lighting-device in which a spring controlling the friction body is set by the movement of a slide, the spring 14 moves a sliding part 11 in a straight direction, and the part 11 strikes a connecting-rod 8, which rotates the friction wheel 6. In the form shown, the friction wheel 6 is operated by a pawl member 7 pivoted upon the axle of the wheel 6, and pivotally connected to the rod 8. This is connected by a pin-and-slot connexion 9, 10 to the part 11, which slides on the wick-tube 2, and is normally held against a collar 12 by the spring 14, bearing against a fixed plate 13. The part 11 is provided with a sleeve 22 enclosing a tube 16, which holds the pyrophoric material 15. The friction wheel 6 is mounted on a member 5 connected to a sleeve 20 slidable on the wicktube. The device is operated by means of jointed levers 18, 19, which are controlled by springs 21 and operated by pressing buttons at their joints. By means of a yoke-shaped spring 24, the levers 18 lift the sleeve 22, and with it the members 11, 8, 7, 6, 5. When the friction members reach the level of the wick, a cap 26 is pushed off the wick-tube, and cams 25 on the levers 18, Fig. 5, release the ends of the spring 24 from the sleeve 22. The spring 14 then returns the sliding part 11, and the pin 10 on reaching the end of the slot 9 gives a blow to the rod 8, which operates the friction wheel.

Abstract: 12,253. Lassner, I., and Lassner, J. March 21, 1913, [Convention date]. Void [Published under Sect. 91 of the Act]. Telephonic relays; telephones; systems for transmitting theatrical performances, news, and the like.-A magneto-microphone relay is formed with powerful magnets having a massive armature secured to or forming part of the microphone diaphragm. In the form shown, the magnetic system consists of twelve horseshoe permanent magnets 1, Figs. 2 and 3, arranged in four groups of three each, the magnets of each group being arranged one within the other. The magnets are connected by screws 2 to iron plates 3, which extend through the casing 5 and form the cores of the line coils 7. The microphone 21, with its diaphragm 17 and armature 20, is carried by a casing 14 threaded to engage a projection 13 on the casing 5, so that the distance between the armature 20 and the magnet poles may be readily adjustable. The magnetic system of a loud-speaking telephone may be constructed as shown in Figs. 2 and 3. Fig. 5 shows the relay arranged as a two-way repeater. Currents from the lines I, II pass through the coils J<1>, J<2> respectively, and vary the resistance in circuit with the loudspeaking telephones F<1>, F<2>, which speak into the ordinary microphones U<1>, U<2>, in circuit with primary windings S1, S1<1>, the secondary windings of which are in series with the lines II, I respectively. Currents in the line I are repeated by the microphone E<1>, and receiver F<2> to the microphone U<2>, and thence through the secondary S2<1> to the line II. Fig. 6 shows the relay used in a system for telephonically distributing news or theatrical performances over a trunk line g, h. The collecting-microphones V are connected through a transformer to the local distributing-circuit c, d to which are connected stations A<1>, A<2> and a relay D, E of the kind described which repeats the currents to a loud-speaking receiver F, speaking into an ordinary microphone U<3> connected through a transformer to the trunk line g, h. At the distant exchange, the received currents are amplified by a relay D' connected to a loud-speaking receiver K, which speaks into a microphone U<4> connected through a transformer with the distributing-circuit c<1>, d<1> of the second town. The relay may also be employed in telephonic methods of producing phonograph records or combined phonograph and kinematograph records.
